Abstract

There has been demonstrated the dynamic model of fuel heating process in ship's tanks. Selected results of several simulation tests such as influence of sea water temperature and insulation level of tank on fuel heating time have been presented. 1 Introduction The benefits offered by computer simulation were the reason that this method has been adopted for testing the fuel preheating system in ship tanks. Simulation in predesign process considering future states of fuel heating installation performance in ship tanks creates some vital possibility to find the most efficient solution and to select the boiler properly. It then allows to reduce the demands for thermal energy and, in the same time, it becomes feasible to reduce inv
